Finally got around to watching the women. No lie, I'm glad I went to bed after the men's SP. I was very tired and this wasn't a particularly well-skated competition.
Medland-Spence – she’s a lovely skater, but she’s not unseating Maddie; I do appreciate her skating to big, grand music – we need more skaters willing to do that.
You – she’s only 21? I thought she was older than that! Well, I’m already interested in this non-typical Korean ladies program & costume; all the Jia-stans are gonna hate me for saying this, but I’d rather she go to the Olympics than Jia. That skate just made the Korean ranking comp & K-Nats a lot more interesting, lol.
Aoki – eeeek – huge error on the opening jump, that’s gonna hurt. But screwing up the attempt to make a combo at the end is gonna hurt even worse. Maybe she should have stayed retired after last season after all…
Hendrickx – well, a 3z+2t isn’t really gonna get the job done; aw man, down on the 3f… I quite like the program and am happy to see her go back to the Celine Dion well for her changed SP – it will be a beautiful program when she skates it clean.
Samodelkina – not sure about these red flowers scattered all over the bodice of her dress – very Christmasy; I appreciate the brassiness of some of this choreo and arm/shoulder-ography in the step sequence!
Kaiser – well, that wasn’t as bad as I expected based on her score, but I’m really worried she won’t be able to earn the Swiss OC’s minimum score to go to the Olympics and that will be a real shame since she’s fighting so hard against this injury. Really nice program – don’t care that it’s Whitney, like Loena, skating to a diva like Whitney works for Livia.
Yun – and here’s our neutral Korean woman of the competition… All very lovely and inoffensive. Meh.
Higuchi – millennial pink washes her out; eeek – 2z and now no combo. She’s a lovely skater but there’s some home-cooking in that score. I don’t even see her getting a 4CCs assignment at this point unless a miracle happens at J-Nats.
Pezzetta – she’s not going down without a fight to Gutmann for that Italian Oly spot. Oof, spoke too soon. These women are as hot-and-cold as the men were earlier.
Lin-Gracey – I’m sorry, but Elyce, no one should ever let Amber emo-girl Glenn pick their music. Between that and Tammy Gambill as your coach, how much of a chance do you really have to be successful at the senior level? And down on the combo. See?
Everhardt – eeek – that fall made me feel for her ankle! I’m so bummed for her sophomore GP season; hoping for better tonight – just shake it all off and go for broke, kiddo!
Sakamoto – LMAO; you could hear the sob in Mark’s voice as Kaori took her starting spot, lol. Beautiful program. No complaints.
